Asoka Ranwala, Speaker of the Tenth Parliament, has stepped down amidst growing controversy over his doctorate credentials. His resignation comes as the main opposition, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), mobilizes support for a no-confidence motion, gathering signatures to challenge his position.
Ranwala, who assumed the role of Speaker on November 21 through unanimous consent from Parliament, now faces heightened scrutiny as political tensions escalate over the issue.
